Jet Aerobatics, is dedicated to the operation, preservation & display of their fast jet training aircraft
The first ever flight of the Jet Provost took place 68 years ago on the 26th June 1954. This venerable aircraft served the RAF for almost 40 years and a number are still airworthy and can be seen regularly on the UK air show circuit!
For the 2022 season we welcome Phil Bird to our roster of pilots and we will be offering a single ship display with the opportunity for pairs displays depending on organisers needs and/or requirements. The pairs display is of course always subject to crew and aircraft availability. For those who have seen our previous displays you will appreciate we aim to provide a flowing and visually satisfying display which has been designed to satisfy both the Photographers and the viewing public alike.
Like many we are hoping that this year’s air show calendar will go forward without too much disruption and we are already working on the display routine/s
With the above in mind please spare a thought for the organisers and all UK air show participants and particularly the civilian operated warbirds many of which receive no external funding whatsoever. If indeed we do get a reasonable air show season in 2022 please do all you can to attend and/or support UK air shows.
Assuming events do go ahead this year, we aim to continue providing our highly dynamic and exciting aerobatic display which has thrilled the British air show going public for many years. We will be again combining aerobatic manoeuvres with some rather graceful flying to allow the photographers among you the chance to take some amazing and evocative photographs of this amazing little aeroplane whilst at the same time showing the slow handling characteristics of this immaculate Jet Provost Mk5 (XW324). We’re often told by the photographers that the slower, less dynamic displays are the best for photography, that said, we will endeavour to cater for all tastes.
Our current roster of pilots is led by our chief pilot Flt Chelvin Hibbert (Ret’d) along with Sqn Ldr Phil Bird, Phil is hugely experienced and displayed both the Hawk and Typhoon for the RAF, others include Sqn Ldr Dan Arlett (currently in Australia), Flt Ollie Suckling, Flt Chris Heames (Ret’d) and Jon Corley.
